Enzo was playing a lively game of Gobstones with Blaise when a younger student rushed into the common room, breathless and wide-eyed.
"Enzo!" the boy gasped. "Y/N—she's in the hospital!"
The Gobstone Enzo had been holding slipped from his fingers, clattering to the floor. "What? What happened?"
"I don't know," the boy said nervously. "They just said it was an accident. She's at St. Mungo's."
Enzo shot to his feet, his usual easygoing demeanor replaced with panic. "I've got to go."
He didn't wait for Blaise's response, his mind racing as he hurried out of the room. Enzo wasn't used to feeling helpless, but the thought of Y/N hurt and alone was enough to shake him to his core.
When he arrived at St. Mungo's, he was all frantic energy, pacing the waiting area and asking every Healer he saw for updates. He wouldn't leave her side until he knew she was okay.

Enzo's easygoing demeanor was nowhere to be found as he entered the room. He approached Y/N quietly, almost timidly, as if afraid of waking her—or worse, seeing no reaction.
He perched on the edge of the bed, his usual grin replaced by a soft, pained frown. "You've gotta stop worrying everyone like this," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
He tugged at his scarf nervously before draping it over the back of his chair. "You've always been there for us, Y/N. Always. Now it's our turn, yeah?"
Leaning forward, he added, "When you wake up, I'm taking you to Honeydukes. And I won't even make you share the chocolate frogs this time. Just... wake up, alright?"

Enzo was mid-sentence, rambling about the latest Quidditch game, when he heard a soft laugh. His head snapped up, and his heart leaped when he saw Y/N's eyes open, her smile weak but teasing.
"Enzo," she whispered, "you're terrible at telling stories."
His mouth fell open, and then he laughed, his relief spilling out in a way that made his shoulders shake. "You scared me half to death, you know that?"
He leaned forward, his grin returning in full force. "Alright, fine. I'll stop rambling and let you rest. But once you're better, you owe me a real conversation. Deal?"
She nodded, her smile growing. "Deal."
